Anatoly V. Perelmuter & Vladimir Slivker, Handbook of Mechanical Stability in Enginnering (3 Vols.), World Scientific Publishing, 2014

Vol. 1 General theorems and individual members of mechanical systems
Vol. 2 Stability of elastically deformable mechanical systems
Vol. 3 More challenges in stability theories and codification problems

Handbook of Mechanical Stability in Engineering (In 3 Volumes) is a systematic presentation of mathemati- cal statements and methods of solution for problems of structural stability. It also presents a connection between the solutions of the problems and the actual design practice.
This comprehensive multi-volume set is useful for research engineers and developers of CAD/CAE soft- ware who investigate the stability of equilibrium of mechanical systems; practical engineers who use the software tools in their daily work and are interested in knowing more about the theoretical foundations of the strength analysis; and for advanced students and faculty of university departments where strength- related subjects of civil and mechanical engineering are taught.
Contents: Volume 1: Stability of Equilibrium of Systems that Have a Finite Number of Degrees Freedom; Variational Statement of the Problem of Equilibrium Stability for Elastic Bodies; Asymptotic Analysis of Post-Critical Behavior; Stability of Equilibrium of Straight Bars; Stability of Equilibrium of Curved Bars; Stability of Equilibrium of Thin-Walled Bars; Conservative External Forces and Moments: Paradoxes and Misbelieves; Spatial Curved Bar — Kirchhoff–Klebsch Theory; Volume 2: Stability of Equilibrium of Plates — Kirchhoff–Love and Reissner Plates; Systems with Unilateral Constraints; Stability of Equilibrium of Planar Bar Structures; FEM in Stability Problems; Hinged Bar Systems; Dynamic Criterion of Stability and Non-Conservative Systems; Post-Critical Deformation; Design Models in Stability Problems: Practical Examples; Volume 3: Stability of Inelastic Systems; Stability at Creep; Dynamic Stability; Aerodynamic Instability; Theory and Experiment; Stability Check on Design Codes.
